==== Fauna ====
[[Sandling]]s inhabit the areas known as the deep sands on the continent, and it is rare for them to venture far from the deepsands.{{book ref|
There are multiple breeds of this type of creature. Some of them, such as Karaks, are hunted for sport.{{book ref|ws2|3}} Another breed consists of thousands of small sandlings which stick together in the Deep sands; when they move they agitate the sand above them causing them to be mistaken for a much larger creature forcing wanderers to retreat.{{book ref|ws2|3}} Delrak Naisha are another breed found in the deep sands. They are creatures that wait just beneath the sand; if the sand above them is disturbed, they emerge and consume whatever is above them.{{book ref|ws2|3}}
At an unknown date the planet was created and purposefully placed in its current location in the [[Taldain System]].{{wob ref|3343}} Following the [[Shattering]], Autonomy settled into the system as the sole Shard present.{{wob ref|4021}}{{wob ref|6880}} At another stage in its early history the planet was settled by humans, due to how the genetics of the settles played out, Daysiders ended up with paler skin.{{wob ref|1900}}
Overtime those on Dayside began to notice the influence of one of Autonomy's Avatars which became known as the [[Sand Lord]].{{wob ref|5876}} This entity eventually would form the basis to [[Ker'Reen Philosophy]] and became the dominant object of worship for the people of [[Kerzta]]. Differing religious beliefs was formed in the [[Diem]], an important part of the government of [[Lossand]]. This difference of faith led to frequent war between Lossand and Kerzta. Permanent peace was eventually gained when the high priest government of Kerzta was replaced by a merchant nobility.{{book ref|
After 200 years, there was a push again by the A'kar, the head priest of Ker'Reen Philosophy, to take control by democratic means. They made contact with a [[Elorin|recent convert]] to Ker'Reen Philosophy within the Diems ranks and persuaded them to remain a member of the Diem and assist with a plan to wipe the organisation out. It was hoped that by doing so the A'kar would win favour with the public, under the pretence that the destruction of the Diem was the Sandlords whim.{{book ref|
At a later point, for reasons unknown, the planet became closed off to visitors.{{wob ref|1807}}{{au ref|taldain}}{{wob ref|4675}} Around this time the planet also stopped progressing technologically, this was a sudden shift as the world used to be one of the most advanced planets in the Cosmere.{{wob ref|1807}}{{wob ref|4675}} At a later date it became easy to visit Taldain again.{{wob ref|6205}}
